14. Bullet Ant

Via: Cool Earth

Bullet ants don’t get their name from their body shape. The name comes from the fact that a bite from this ant is as painful as getting shot. This insect delivers one of the most painful bites in the insect world. You’ll find it in the rainforests of South America. Many of those who have been bitten by these ants have described the pain as similar to that of being shot. It’s an intense pain that can last a whole day. These ants are not necessarily deadly, though. But we bet being stung by many of these could cause some kind of severe reaction in some people. Thankfully, it seems the bites don’t really cause bad reactions for the most part. You’ll only feel like you’re dying!
